156 STARTING AND OPERATING

REFUELING THE VEHICLE

1. Ensure that the vehicle doors are unlocked as this
unlocks the fuel door.
2. Open the fuel filler door by pushing near the right
outer edge of the fuel door near the center to unlatch.
Then use a finger to rotate fuel door to full open.
Fuel Filler Door
NOTE:
 In certain cold conditions, ice may prevent the fuel
door from opening. If this occurs, lightly push
around the perimeter of the fuel door to break the
ice buildup.
 There is no fuel filler cap. Two flapper doors inside
the pipe seal the system.
 The fuel filler door locks with the vehicle doors. If
the fuel filler door does not open, check to make
sure the vehicle doors are unlocked.
3. Insert the fuel nozzle fully into the filler pipe – the
nozzle opens and holds the flapper doors while
refueling.

4. Fill the vehicle with fuel – when the fuel nozzle
"clicks" or shuts off the fuel tank is full.

allow fuel to drain from nozzle.
6. Remove the fuel nozzle and close the fuel door.
Engage the fuel door latch by pushing on the
right outer edge near the center.
WARNING!
 Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the
vehicle when the fuel door is open or the tank is
being filled.
 Never add fuel when the engine is running. This is in
violation of most state and federal fire regulations
and may cause the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
to turn on.
 A fire may result if fuel is pumped into a portable
container that is inside of a vehicle. You could be
burned. Always place fuel containers on the ground
while filling.
